My sister has settled in well at Mill House Nursing Home. She is attending all the activities on offer and enjoying the company of other residents and staff. I can see that her personal care, physical needs and emotional needs are met by genuine, caring staff. They helped to organise video calls with
our brother in New Zealand, and my sister was thrilled.

Mum has been content at Mill House for two years since she first came here as a resident.
All staff have shown a caring and compassionate nature in their care of Mum and have encouraged her to engage in the daily activities.
Having nursing staff for 24 hours a day has provided us with the reassurance
that Mum is safe and well.

Would highly recommend this care home, the staff are so helpful, show care and empathy for this awful situation we are in due to Covid. My mum is happy which is the most important thing. The nursing staff phone with regular updates, the activities team make a real effort keeping in contact via FaceTime.
Even the chefs in the car park are able to make an effort to smile and talk. The administration staff have been absolutely wonderful helping with all paperwork.

Mum has had excellent service whilst at Mill House, the staff at every level have been great in dealing with everything, and really importantly helping me to understand what to do to make sure my mother is happy even down to helping me get the right newspapers delivered. I have really appreciated this
and I am thankful to them for this. Would highly recommend.

We were worried that mum wouldn't settle when she first moved in, however, everyone made her so welcome. Mum loves joining in the activities and gained her love for life back. Covid has made visiting difficult bu the staff have done an amazing job in keeping everyone safe.

My mother died at the Mill House on 9th May 2020.
You have something very special in Mill House Nursing Home. The staff have been outstanding in their care and kindness shown to my mother. She frequently mentioned this to me during my visits. As the home is a relatively small scale establishment,
there is a strong feeling of community. The cleaning staff are also kind and considerate, the food provided excellent. The office staff are dedicated, helpful and reliable. My mother had many favourites among the staff, with good reason. Despite her disability due to her earlier stroke, the carers and nursing staff played an important part in keeping up her spirits, treating her with dignity and good humour. Near the end of her life, I myself witnessed extra efforts that were made to make her as comfortable as possible. The nursing and personal care she received were exemplary; I cannot praise your wonderful staff highly enough.
Reply from Olivia Shields, Marketing Assistant at Mill House Nursing Home

Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to share your experience at Mill House Nursing Home. We are so sorry to hear about your Mother, but pleased you felt she received great care and hope that her time at Mill House did see some friendships flourish, especially with the care team. If there is anything more we can do, please do not hesitate to reach out.

My husband was transferred from hospital for end of life care at Mill House and the care he received was second to none. The staff at all levels were amazing - caring, yet professional. This care was also extended to me as I spend a lot of time at his bedside. Our family, when visiting their dad, were
also treated in the same way.

My aunt gets confused and forgetful but the activities and stimulation she gets are helping slow her decline. The staff are always kind and jolly. She is always given a choice but is encouraged to participate in events which are not always confined to the home.
The visits out stay in her mind.

Such a lovely place for my mum with lots going on. The carers are always polite and kind to both my mum and family members. She now eats extremely well with lots of choices on the menu. She loves the outings and the singers that are often in. I would highly recommend all the carers, management team
and the lovely homely environment.

Friendly welcome. I was made to feel at ease with tea on arrival and was shown around. Excellent staff. Room option very helpful. Activities well explained. Meals explained. Overall top service. Little touches, eg flowers in the toilets. Informal talks with staff with no airs and graces was lovely and

My mother was a resident at Mill House for 6 weeks and I have always found the management and staff very polite, friendly and courteous. Very good attention to detail and always observant and aware of needs. Keen sense of humour, laughter is plentiful a sound we love to hear. Mill House kept my mother
safe and happy with a personal touch money can't buy.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.945)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.945) out of 10 for Mill House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.945 for Mill House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (154 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 163 Ratings = 4.945
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mill House Nursing Home is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
